Yuvraj Singh has been a massive success in Global T20 Canada. Playing for Toronto Nationals, Yuvraj Singh put on a show with his willow for the fans. He also rolled back the years by bowling crucial overs for the team, which certainly did magic for the team. Now, Abu Dhabi T10 is in the line for Yuvraj Singh alongside Ambati Rayudu and Irfan Pathan.

Organisers of the Abu Dhabi T10 are confident Yuvraj Singh will be playing when the new season gets underway in November – even if does come with a hefty price tag. The league officials don’t want to miss the chance, as they are ready to pay any kind of price to the stylish southpaw.
Alongside Yuvraj Singh, the recently-retired batsman Ambati Rayudu and the fast bowler Irfan Pathan are also in the scheme of things for the upcoming season of Abu Dhabi T10 League.
I think it is more about a number – Shaji Ul Mulk
According to Shaji Ul Mulk, the chairman and founder of the T10 league, talks have taken place with Yuvraj, as well as his former India colleagues Rayudu and Pathan, as reported by The National.
“We are very optimistic, and I think it is more about a number than willingness,” Ul Mulk told the UAE-based daily. “Yuvraj has a certain expectation, and we can only afford so much, let us put it that way. We are trying to bridge that gap, but the intention is very clear: he definitely wants to play. The same goes for other players who are retiring. There is an ongoing conversations, so we are pretty optimistic.”
Indian players, such as Zaheer Khan, RP Singh, and Pravin Tambe, featured for the first time in the 2018 T10 League. This helped the league get a big number in the viewership. If Yuvraj Singh makes into the chart, certainly, the number would reach high with the Indian fans showered loving on him.
